Product Description

Description
I NEVER EVEN ASKED FOR LIGHT was the second album by Lullaby for the Working Class, a sort of mini-supergroup of the Omaha scene led by Ted Stevens (Mayday, Cursive) and Mike Mogis (Bright Eyes). Pitched between alt-country and lush chamber pop similar to late-period Talk Talk, these 13 tracks are ornately detailed without sounding overworked or crowded, with passages balancing angst and tender beauty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Subtle pleasure, 23 Jun 2005
A beautiful record that I've owned for years and yet always seems fresh. Recalls 'The Texas Campfire Tapes' in terms of raw production values but this only serves to capture the honesty of the music all the more effectively. Great lyrics and haunting delivery make this a gorgeous record. One to treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Original and brilliant, 4 Jul 2004
By Joseph (Wembley) - See all my reviews
Since there were no reviews posted for this, I felt I had to write something. Musically this is very innovative...a blend of chamber-pop and alt. country. The singer's voice is strained at times, which may put some people off. Get past that and you will be left with an album with moments of pure beauty and originality, with thoughtful, peotic lyricals to go. Not everyone's cup of tea. Not a record for shallow people. I've owned this for 5 years and it's still very much a favourite.

Lullaby for the Working Class were a rare truly original band, front-man Ted Stevens now in another band which hasn't quite captured what Lullaby had. Shame.
